Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of safety valves, and in particular relates to an intelligent safety valve and a control method for the intelligent safety valve. Background Art

[0002] A safety valve is a special valve whose opening and closing components remain normally closed under external forces. When the pressure of the medium within the equipment or pipeline rises above a specified value, it releases the medium to the outside of the system to prevent the pressure within the pipeline or equipment from exceeding the specified value. Safety valves are automatic valves primarily used in boilers, pressure vessels, and pipelines to control pressure within a specified value, playing a vital role in protecting personnel and equipment operation. Note: Safety valves must undergo a pressure test before use.

[0003] The existing safety valve has the following defects when in use:

[0004] 1. The valve disc cannot maintain stability after moving to the appropriate position and is prone to loosening, resulting in the inability to accurately control the flow rate;

[0005] 2. The valve disc moves inside the valve body, and the position of the valve disc cannot be determined by external observation, which is inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent safety valve and a control method for the intelligent safety valve. By setting a first electric push rod, the opening and closing of the valve body can be controlled. By starting the second electric push rod, the valve stem is kept at a fixed height, thereby controlling the flow rate of the valve body. At the same time, the triangular block will drive the rack to move vertically downward when it moves downward. Finally, the current position of the valve stem can be understood through the indication of the indicator arrow, thereby solving the existing technical problems.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] An intelligent safety valve comprises: a valve body, a cover plate provided on the top of the valve body, a control cabin provided on the top of the cover plate, a connection box provided on the top of the control cabin, a first electric push rod provided on the top of the connection box, a piston rod of the first electric push rod fixedly connected to a valve stem, a valve disc fixedly connected to the bottom of the valve stem, a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet respectively provided on two sides of the valve body, a communicating hole provided inside the valve body, the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet both being connected to the communicating hole, and the communicating hole being used in conjunction with the valve disc;

[0009] The bottom of the connection box is fixedly connected to a fixed transverse plate, the bottom of the fixed transverse plate is fixedly connected to a fixed rod, and a brake assembly for braking the valve rod is provided inside the fixed rod;

[0010] One side of the fixing rod is fixedly connected to a first fixing plate, and one side of the first fixing plate is provided with an indicating component for indicating the position of the valve disc.

[0011] Optionally, the brake assembly includes a plurality of protrusions that slide through the fixed rod, one end of the protrusion is fixedly connected to a limiting plate, a same tension spring is fixedly connected between the limiting plate and the fixed rod, the tension spring is sleeved on the protrusion, and a slot that engages with the protrusion is opened on one side of the valve stem.

[0012] Optionally, the indicating assembly includes a second rotating shaft rotatably connected to one side of the first fixed plate, the outer wall of the second rotating shaft is fixedly sleeved with a first bevel gear, one side of the fixed rod is fixedly connected to the second fixed plate, the interior of the second fixed plate rotates through the first rotating shaft, one end of the first rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear, and the other end of the first rotating shaft is fixedly sleeved with a first spur gear.

[0013] Optionally, the indicating assembly further comprises an annular plate that rotates and passes through the interior of the connection box, and a gear ring is fixedly sleeved on the inner wall of the annular plate, and the gear ring is meshed with the first spur gear.

[0014] Optionally, a plurality of scale lines are fixedly connected to the top of the annular plate, and an indicator arrow used in conjunction with the scale lines is fixedly connected to the top of the connection box.

[0015] Optionally, a second electric push rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed horizontal plate, and the piston rod of the second electric push rod is fixedly connected to a triangular block. The triangular block is used in conjunction with a limit plate, and one side of the triangular block is fixedly connected to a rack. The outer wall of the second rotating shaft is fixedly sleeved with a second spur gear, and the second spur gear is meshed with the rack.

[0016] Optionally, a common sealing plate is provided between the cover plate and the valve body, and a plurality of threaded holes are provided inside the cover plate, the sealing plate and the valve body, and screws for matching use are provided inside the plurality of threaded holes.

[0017] A control method for an intelligent safety valve comprises the following steps:

[0018] S1. When the valve body needs to be opened or closed, the first electric push rod is activated. The piston rod of the first electric push rod drives the valve stem to move vertically downward, and the valve stem drives the valve disc to move vertically downward. At this time, the valve disc blocks the connecting hole, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the valve body.

[0019] S2. When the flow rate of the valve body needs to be adjusted, the second electric push rod can be started. The piston rod of the second electric push rod drives the triangular block to move vertically downward. When the triangular block moves to the side of the appropriate limit plate, the limit plate at that position can be pushed out. The piston rod of the second electric push rod and the limit plate are no longer on the same horizontal line and will not block the limit plate. At this time, the limit plate drives the protrusion to extend. When the valve stem moves to the appropriate position, the card slot engages with the extended protrusion. At this time, the valve stem remains at a fixed height, thereby controlling the flow rate of the valve body.

[0020] S3. When the triangular block moves downward, it will drive the rack to move vertically downward, the rack drives the second spur gear to rotate, the second spur gear drives the second rotating shaft to rotate, the second rotating shaft drives the first bevel gear to rotate, the first bevel gear drives the second bevel gear to rotate, the second bevel gear drives the first rotating shaft to rotate, the first rotating shaft drives the first spur gear to rotate, the first spur gear drives the gear ring to rotate, the gear ring drives the annular plate to rotate, the annular plate drives the scale line to rotate, and then the current position of the valve stem can be understood through the indication of the indicator arrow, which is easy to use.

[0021] The embodiments of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0022] In the present invention, the opening and closing of the valve body can be controlled by setting a first electric push rod. By starting the second electric push rod, the valve stem is kept at a fixed height, thereby controlling the flow rate of the valve body. At the same time, the triangular block drives the rack to move vertically downward as it moves downward. Finally, the current position of the valve stem can be understood through the indication of the indicator arrow.

[0023] Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
